Application filed February 18. 1907.- Serial No. 3157.996.

ne a' y.1mm-vn, that LJOHN w. B. FARIS, a citlzenof the United States, residing at Skidmore, in the county `of Bee and State of'- Texas-- have invented-a new and useful Barbers ottlelHoldenefwhich the following is a s cification. ,4

1 A 's invention has reference to improve `mentsin holders Jfor bottles intended for the use -of barbers ``sxich'as are used for holding ba "rum, 'hairtonics, and other fluids,- and its object is to'provide a holder whichwhen the fbottlefLis'removed-for use will cause the ac- The: invention consists essentially of a bottle provided with a rounded bottom so that itwill notremainuriright on a flat surface,'f

and `a corresponding shaped receptacle so arranged .as to holdt e bottle in an up ht position.` The-receptacle -is provided with a movable portion in thepath' of the bottle so ithat .when the bottle is placed in the-*recep-- tacleithis movable portion will be actuated and throughQit and suitable' connections thsrewill'beactuated a re 'ster or a signal or 'fbo'thwhich willindicate t at the bottle has beenrremoved for use and replaced after use'.

ll-hel@invention will be fully understood :fromthefollowingldetailed description taken yin connection wit the accompanying draw- .informing rpart of this ,specification7 1n w 'ch,-

Figure 1 is an elevation, partlyin section, of. the improvedbottle and registereactuating receptacle therefor, the bottle being shown in place; and Fig. 2 is a section through the receptacle in a vertical plane and also showling a portion of the connections from the receptacle to theregister or signal.

Referring to the drawings, there is shown a bottle' 1 designed to receive bay rum, Florida water, haintonic or any other liquid preparationused by bai-bers, and this bottle may have the usual long neck 2 and cap 3 from which latter the liquid'is expelled in a fine stream or s ray.

The body 1 o the bottle is made spherical in shape as shown, or the upper portion ofv the bottle may be made any shape desired, while the lower, portion 4 of the bottle is made hemispherical or elliptical or otherwiserrounded so that it will not remain upright upon. a flat-'surface butr must beplaced in a suitable receptacle. About midway the body of the bottle is formed vth a circumferential -lange 5, the purpose of which will presently .appear- Secured upon a' suitable base 6 there isa hemispherical, elliptical or otherwise rounded bowl '7 onthe top of a suitable stem 8 rising from-a foot 9 fast' on the-base plate .6.

AThe bowl 7 with the stem and foot 9l may be made of glass or metal or any other material suitable for the purpose,` andin lorder to protect the bottle from harm when placed in the bowl, the latter is provided with a soft rubber lining 10, or this lining may be made of felt or any other softmaterial, and.

its upperedge 11 is carried over the upper edge of the lbowl 7 so that whenthe-bottle 1 is placed inthe bowl the langel will rest upon this overlapping portion of the soft lining as onva Tledge, and the flange 5 will thereby serve to maintain the bottle in an upright position in the receptacle.

- Extending vertically through the base 6 thereis a assa e. 12 m'atchinv another las- P e P sage 13 in the oot 9, and this passage-13 meets a larger vertical passage 14 extending upward through the stem 8 and opening into lthe bowl 7 at its lowermost point through a perforation 15 in the soft linmgof the bowl. Through these several passages there extends a rod A16 terminating at the upper'end in a head 17 of such diameter as to fit snugly but not tightl within the large portion 14 of the passage t rough the stem and base of the ister or signal forms no part of the presentl invention.

It is designed that this bottle and holder therefor shallbe attached directly to a barbers chair or to some structure adjacent to the chair. Since the receptacle for the bottle is an upright structure and the rod 16 passes downward through the same, it is derock arm 20 fast on a bracket or standard 21 the parts may be adjusted to adapt the dey tonicllas been used.

sirable that the direction of motion of the rod 16 be changed so as to reach the register convenientl located. For this purpose the' lower end oiY the rod 16 may be attached to a and another rod 22 secured to the rock arm 2O may transmit the motion imparted to the rod 16 to the register' or signal. In order that vice to the motion of the register, the arm 20 may be slotted as shown at 23 Where it is connected to the rod 16 so that the throw of the rod 22 may be adjusted with relation to the extent of travel of the rod 16.

Within the portion 14 of the passage through the base and stem oi the receptacle the rod 16 is surrounded by a helical spring -24 abutting at one end on the bottoni ofthe portion 14 ofthe passage and at the other end engaging under the head 17. The tendency of th1s spring is to hold the rod 16 in an elevatedpositionwith the head 17 entering for a distance into the interior of the `bowl 7 of the bottle holder. New, when a bottle is placed in the'bowl 7 its Weight will cause thev rod 16 to be depressed until the crown 18 is seated in the perforationv 15 of the soft lining of the bowl7 but when the bottle isv removed the spring 24 Will'move the rod upward and again lift the head 17 into the interior of the bowl 7.

The register or signal may be. operated by either the removal of the bottle or the replacingof the saine in the receptacle, as may be desired.

If it be desired to use the bottle for a-preparation used for shampooing, then the register will indicate the number ot times that the shampoo preparation has been used, or if the bottle contains hair tmiic, then the register.' will indicate the number ci times that such If a si' nal only be used in connection with the bott e receptacle, then. this` may be operated on the removal of the bottle, or the sig- 'nal may be so arranged as to be operated both on the removal and the replacing ci' the bottle, but when a register' is used it may be body ofthe bottle, and a longitudinally mov--v ing, indicator-actuating means having a no1'- mal tendency to enter the receptacle and `movable out vof the receptacle'by the` introduction of the bottle therein.

2. In a device of the character described, a bottle having a body with a rounded bottoni and a circumferential flange thereforLal receptacle for the rounded portion of he bottore-l tleand having its upper edge sha ceive the flange on the bott e, an anindicator-.actuating means carried by the receptacle andv movable by the bottle. l

3. In a device of the character described, a bottle, a receptacle therefor, a lininlof soft material in the receptacle, and an in catoractuating means extending into ythe rece tacle through the soft lining and movable out of the receptacle by the introduction of the f bottle into the latter.`

4.- In a device of the character described, a bottle havinr a rounded bottom on base, a circumferentia ange lat the junction of the rounded base and body of the bottle, a l

rounded or bowl-shaped receptacle conforming to the rounded base of the bottle, a soft lining for said receptacle-overlapping the .up''

per edges thereof and there receiving the circumferential flange on the bottle, a springactuated rod carrying a head normally .con strained by the spring to enterthe receptacle and pushedout of the same by the weight of the bottle, and connections from said rod for operating an indicating device..

In testimony that I claim the oregomg as my own, I have hereto afhxed'my signature in the presence ol two Witnesses.
